Might get a Tab 10.1 - Has the newton rings been fixed?

Hi.
I've just put my iPad 1 up for sale.
Forget the iPad 3 I'm looking at what Samsung bring out in there upcoming press conference. If I don't like what I see I may get a 10.1 instead until the Nexus tablet sees the light of day
I'm wondering if I buy new stock has the Newton Rings been eradicated?
Also, is there an ETA on ICS for the 10.1?
I'll be rooting straight away - is it easy?
Cheers.

Newton rings have not been mentioned in a while here so I'd say it has been fixed..
ICS most likely April or May would be my guess but there are ICS CM9 Kangs already in the development section that work rather well.. The only thing not really working on the CM9 Kangs is the camera..
Rooting is very easy on the Tab..

Hey mate
Theres no eta at the mo, although most predict q2 :L u can just install an ics rom, everythings works on them except the camera.
Rooting is easy, takes ten mins tops good luck...

I'm almost positive the manufacturing of the 10.1 has changed, virtually eliminating the Newton rings. Everywhere I've seen it even brought up it was with a tab purchased pre change in manufacture. Not saying the have been eradicated, but as a manufacturer flaw yes.
ETTA on ICS, good question, and there are only estimates on the official release. But, I like to think the estimates of before the end of March are accurate
Easy to root, another good question. If you take you time making sure you follow EVERY step exactly it can go smooth and flawless. If not, you're bound to hit a snag and need help, but I've found help is quick, and great here if you're polite and specific about your process followed, where you are stuck at, and most important not panicking. I've also yet to see any one who was following one of the how to guides here actually brick the tab. You'll see many posts saying I've bricked my tab, but I've yet to see anyone not get out of it easily with little help to the right direction
Having said that about bricking, I'm not saying impossible, but probably would have to try something not suggested intentionally to brick it for real. Stickied how to's are highly suggested to be used.
Good luck and keep us posted.

A new design display started appearing on 3G UK G-Tabs in October. Samsung also started using it for repairs about the same time. You can recognize the new display by holding it an angle under light. It's got a textured kind of weave underneath the glass. I had both designs and the newer one also has better contract and the colors are a bit less exagerated.

Cool excellent.
I've rooted a few phones in the past so I should be OK.
I'm wondering what is chrome beta like on ics for the tab? I have it on my nexus s and love it. I hoping the performance on a oc tab is fast. That was one of my main bugbers with the iPad - browsing us just too slow.

If you like Chrome Beta (I don't) then it works well on the Tab with either the Kang or the AOKP..

Hey thanks for the replies.
I sold my iPad! So I will get the money and sit on it for a month and see what Samsung bring to the table for the iPad 3 fight.
If I don't like what I see then 10.1 it is.
Hopefully it will be discounted when the new tablets hit the streets.
Thanks.

My galaxy tab was made in September and I have no rings

I still wonder how prevalent this symptom was. I purchased my Tab last June and have never experienced any screen anomalies.

No newton rings here

I HAD the Newton rings. Wife purchased the tab back in August and it had the "non-branded" screen which I believe is the old version with the rings problem. I sent it in for replacement and a week later, I get it back with a new screen. This one has the Samsung logo on it and seems much stronger. No newton rings to speak of so far.

I'm really curious about this as well. Can someone explain how to tell the difference between screens and when your tab was manufactured?

Do your screens have the Samsung logo on them? Mine did not have the logo and I think that is how you tell which are the good screens.

No. The original manufactured ones didn't have the logo. They had a manufacturing flaw and the ones manufactured after flaw was discovered didn't. They started manufacturing ones that had the logo, and without the flaw.

twhy do you choose the tab ? I think transformer prime is better choice for now or at least, the 10.1 note( have s-pen)

Infuse to SGSIII

I'm really looking into jumping from my Infuse to SGSIII. Love my infuse and all the development for it, but I'm looking for something new to play around with. Plus I'd like something with more modern specs. 500mb of RAM just isn't enough... So my question is, is the jump worth it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

It's definitely worth it, the Infuse is basically a first generation Galaxy S (Captivate with bigger screen), and you're jumping to the third generation of the Galaxy series. It's pretty awesome, and the phone's a beast!

That's how I've been looking at it. Slightly upgraded Galaxy S to SIII. I've had my eye on that white one. Just wish they had black.

Yeah I was initially going for the pebble blue, but the white one is quite a beauty! It's a great, feature-packed phone!

Long time infuse user here. Had the SGSIII for a few days now and I will tell you that you will love it. Wanted black as well, never had anything but black but the blue just didn't work for me and I'm liking the white. Bottom line I believe as an infuse user u will not be sorry. :thumbup:

Why, their cases suck. On the defender the outside rubber stretches and fits terrible after a short time and it makes this phone massive and almost unable to carry, at least thats how the note 2 case was.

Alright then what would you suggest for a case because I definitely won't leave mine without a case.

There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.
I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.

Check out uag cases they have it available already its cool looking and serves its purpose without the bulk I had it on my note 2

If anybody sees the Defender at retail please post up- thats the one Im waiting for. :good:
Don't care if you think it makes it look like a brick etc, been using them since my OG Droid and have yet to break a phone from dropping it so I'll keep using them :highfive:

Just order the seidio surface for my phone it seems like a really sturdy case, they also have an active version not [email protected] moment but to me it seems like a slimmer more appealing version of the otter box defender Series, you should check then out.

Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!
I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap

I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.

I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.

I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.

I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.

I agree, I have a red neo-hybrid and it looks awesome but it is very slippery to hang onto.
